FRIENDLY MATCH:- Beccehamians Ladies vs. Old Dunstonians Ladies 8th October 2006
Beccehamian ladies got their season underway on Sunday 8th October with a 15-5 win away at Old Dunstonians. Beccehamians suffered a reduction in numbers at the end of last season due to injuries, illness and players moving away. However, recent recruitment has paid off and, despite having to borrow players from Old Dunstonians, they are beginning to look competitive again. This match was an excellent opportunity for learning and development for both teams with the newly-formed Old Dunstonians’ getting their first taste of contested scrums while Beccehamians saw the debut of three brand new players and tried experienced players in new positions. Everyone played with tremendous spirit, with the newcomers learning fast, encouraged by their team-mates.
Captain was founder-member Yvonne (Vonnie) Baxter at hooker, vice captain was fly-half Claire Carver, try-scorer and players’ player of the match was visiting number 8 Kate Goyder, forward of the match was novice flanker Jay Sperry and back of the match was last-season’s top try-scorer, at full-back, Claire Hamon.
